Albert was tapped to drive the Evolution on the run from San Diego to Gastonia, N.C., May 17-22. And if you think six days is a long time to take to run across the country, as Albert noted, it is, but “much more goes into an ‘official’ test than driving the truck.” Follow along with how fuel-mileage results progressed over the haul via Albert’s blog, linked here. He’s posted through Day 2 as of this writing, on which the Evolution jumped to more than 8 mpg average fuel mileage after a 6-plus-mpg Day 1 with big hill climbs.
